Donald Trump: Kamala Harris would ‘decimate’ social security and medicare

By Matthew Boyle | Breitbart Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that Vice President Kamala Harris would “decimate” Social Security and Medicare if she won the election, and the only way to protect those programs is to vote for him. Asked during a nearly hour-long interview last weekend about Democrats privately sounding the alarm about Harris’s silence on Social Security and Medicare as Politico reported earlier in September, Trump sounded off, saying she avoids talking about the programs because people know her policies would destroy them. “So she doesn’t talk at all about Social Security or Medicare because everyone knows she’s going to decimate them,” Trump told Breitbart News. “They’re going to be destroyed. There’s no way to fix it once she does tha...

Jefferson County candidates offer views on budget, housing, metro districts

By Deborah Grigsby | Colorado Politics Candidates for the Jefferson County Board of Commission offered competing visions, at times clashing approaches to priorities and spending, during a debate on Thursday night.  In District 1, which covers the northern part of the county and includes Arvada and Westminster, current commissioner and former state lawmaker Tracy Kraft-Tharp is vacating the seat. Last year, she announced that she would not seek reelection. There are four candidates vying for the position. READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS

Fort Carson training medical personnel for potential of large-scale European war

By MARY SHINN | The Gazette As the war in Ukraine kills and injures tens of thousands, European countries are getting more serious about medical training and ensuring the care is standardized across NATO nations. In a large-scale ground war in Eastern Europe, casualties could be, for example, transferred from a Danish Stryker ambulance to a Hungarian ambulance and then to a Lithuanian and Spanish joint field hospital, as they were in a recent European exercise. So, it’s key the medical standards are the same as patients are transferred, said Maj. Dylan Bryant, with the 140th Medical Group, who attended a recent Fort Carson training and the European exercise. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE GAZETTE

Dills: Along with America, Alex Clark is waking up to the lies of ‘big food’

By Abi Dills  | Commentary, The Federalist I am grateful to Alex Clark and others like her who have taken on the fight against the food lies we’ve all been fed for years. When I was 12 years old my parents decided to try a gluten-free diet. Within weeks, my dad’s indigestion disappeared, both parents lost weight, and they were free from muscle pain. Although they were in their mid-30s, they felt better than they had in years. They were astonished but also confused. Why had no one suggested this to them before? Why was our food made with such harmful ingredients? My parents had always been relatively healthy, but from that point on, our family embarked on a journey into health and wellness. We stopped eating fast food, began researching vitamins and supplements, and started...

Amid acreage transition to solar farming, could Weld County lose its agricultural base?

By Sharon Dunn | BizWest Magnum Feedyards has operated for more than 30 years in eastern Weld County. The main line of business is growing feed and feeding cattle for market. Owner Steve Gabel started with 5,500 head in 1994, and he has gradually increased that to 35,000 head and 10,000 acres of land. But today, he’s planning to turn 4,300 of those acres into a new use — solar farming. If approved, it would be the largest solar array in Weld County to date. He’s not retiring — on the contrary, as a businessman, Gabel is looking to get the highest and best use out of all of his property. READ THE FULL STORY AT BIZWEST

Gen Z’ers are getting fired by businesses at shocking levels. Here’s why.

By Brad Polumbo | Washington Examiner It’s tough to keep a job these days. At least, it’s proving tough for many members of Generation Z, young adults born after 1997, because they’re getting fired at shocking levels, according to a new survey from Intelligent.com.  An astounding six in 10 employers surveyed have already fired college graduates they’d only brought on earlier this year, the Daily Mail reports of the survey. One in seven businesses added that they may not hire recent college graduates next year due to the problems they’ve encountered.  What’s wrong with these young employees? “Business leaders listed concerns in areas such as communications skills and professionalism that made them wary of hiring Gen Z,” the Daily Mail says. “They al...

Mesa County focused on stopping the spread of zebra mussels threatening water supply

By Jen Schumann | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice A small intruder endangers Mesa County's water infrastructure, agriculture, local economy and aquatic habitats, and Mesa County isn't alone facing the threat. Zebra mussels invade ecosystems unchecked. Their staggering reproductive rate fuels the crisis. A single female can unleash one million eggs. What's worse is that they reach maturity in about four months. These small mussels clog pipes and drip water tubing as they multiply.  They can invade canals and rivers, and cripple irrigation systems.  This July, zebra mussel DNA was detected in the Government Highline Canal and the Colorado River. Mesa County Commissioner Bobbie Daniel and Tina Bergonzini, general manager of the Grand Valley Water Users Association, have ...

Biden and Harris’ response to Hurricane Helene is part of a disturbing pattern

By Matt Vespa  | Town Hall Hurricane Helene dissipated over the weekend, but not before smashing into Florida’s Big Bend as a category four storm, inflicting “biblical” damage across the southern United States. After landfall, the heavy rains led to catastrophic flooding that’s killed almost 100 people so far. In the Newport area of Tennessee, about 60 miles outside Knoxville, residents were forced to scramble after the Waterville Dam failed. And where’s Biden and Harris throughout this crisis? It’s part of an unseemly pattern with this administration: when disaster strikes, everyone runs away. A train derails in East Palestine, Ohio—the Biden White House drags their feet. Severe wildfires strike Maui, the deadliest in 100 years, and it takes Joe forever to get out there. Joe’s mind ...

Kamala Harris’ advantage with Latinos slips to lowest for Dems in four election cycles

By Ryan King | New York Post Democrats’ advantage with Latino voters has dwindled to the lowest levels seen in four presidential election cycles under Vice President Kamala Harris, a new poll has found. Harris maintains a 14-point lead over President Donald Trump with the critical voting bloc — 54% to 40% — with 6% of Latino voters undecided, according to a new NBC News/Telemundo/CNBC national poll, which sampled registered voters of Latino descent. The VP’s modest showing is a far cry from Democrats’ performance with Latino voters in recent elections. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Kamala’s new plan for the economy is basically take two on Bidenomics

By Nick Pope | Daily Caller Vice President Kamala Harris released an 82-page document explaining her vision for the economy on Wednesday, but the plan shares much in common with President Joe Biden’s economic agenda. The plan, titled “A New Way Forward For The Middle Class,” proposes to build upon Biden initiatives like student loan debt cancellation, industrial policy, huge subsidies for green energy and going after corporations for alleged price gouging. Prior to quitting the presidential race under immense political pressure, voters were largely dissatisfied with Biden’s economy, which had come to be defined by 40-year high inflation. “Harris isn’t going to stray very far from current Biden policies,” Ryan Young, a senior economist for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told...
